72 Datsun 240z

I have a champion 3 row radiator. Its like 15 years old and stock fan clutch. Which auxiliary fan can help reduce the temp when the AC is engaged? Which type and brand?

It climbs 3/4 but when turning the ac on during traffic.

I still believe there is an issue with vapor lock as i turned the ac on and the temp started getting to 3/4 of the gauge.

He retuned the carbs, installed a msd coil and advanced the timing. Guy is 70 years old and works on 8 cyl camaros.

Mechanic finally managed to get the 6 spark plugs working. All seem burning correctly with no fouling. Car does start misfiring if i turn the air conditioning on. Id like some advice on replacing the ac fan, condenser and compensator so i can have an efficient air conditioning system that cools well and does not make the needle move to 3/4. We are getting there!

Can you guide me where should i buy the red interior hardware springs and molded seats? I thought at msa i could get everyrhing!

I was thinking on buying that msa kit but now you are mentioning a problem with the molded seat!

Any clue of the 3 to 5 screws type and lenght for the center console of a 1972 240z?

WHat about the 3-5 screws on the center console? I lost the original screws. anyone?

Any supplier i should consider before reconstructing both of the seats on my 1972 240z? https://www.thezstore.com/datsun-240z-1972/product/5900/seat-upholstery-kit-w-velour-insert-left-and-right-red-72-73-240z

Could the braided hoss that goes to the brake booster have a leak? How do you check for leaks? Carb cleaner?

Brake booster arrive. Already installed. Car is stopping much better however when stuck in traffic rpms start to oscillate from 800 to 600 rpms. Should i retune my carbs?

This was solved today by retarding time! Thanks

Here in Panama we use 95 fuel. Mechanic advised to use an octane booster. The thing is how much in half full 16 gallon tank? The whole can or half and then fill up the rest of the tank with 95 fuel?

Hi Jon, Mechanic just confirmed he had advanced the timing to get a quick response in first gear with the hot coil. Should i retard it a little bit? If so how much?

Im experiencing a ratting noise when accelerating in 3rd gear on my 72 240z. Is my timing too advance?

Well im going to send it to Power brake exchange. I do have this kind of symptoms om revs going up and down during traffic jams. Any way to check this before shipping it to Washington? Maybe a pressure suck gun?

This guys are very slow responding emails. Need another shop!

Car is running a little bit better now with the MSD Blaster 2 coil maybe its masking the problem only. Still testing the car. I did noticed the mechanic adjusted the carbs as follows: 4 turns down each carb, 7 at idle screw for front carburetor and 10 at idle screw for rear carburetor. The fast idle screw when raised to 2500 rpm gave different measures on front and rear carburetors.

Just email them, filled up the form and send them pictures of my original brake booster. Hope to get a response from them so i can ship it from Panama to the US.

Thanks. I live outside the US. Getting such booster into the US will pay an import tax.isnt there any shop that can sell me one instead of doing the exchange?

Im planning on buying a kit to rebuild the brake booster in my 1972 240z. Any reliable kits and how difficult is the reman process?

This is how the msd blaster 2 got wired to the tach, distributor and ballast. Hope im not missing anything. Tach is working but plug 4 is still getting fouled at idle.

Car is running fine with the msd blaster 2 coil. Tach is working.
